Oopsdabassist Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) I think, if someone likes one of your comments, or uses one of the other amusing emojis, you get a Watt. Its kind of a measure of your popularity......or not, in my case, been here for years, hardly a flicker.

Dad3353 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) As all decent bass players know, 'Watts' are a pretty meaningless measure of much, anyway. Edited May 2, 2020 by Dad3353 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Next question, which I asked before and nobody knew, was what the Rank is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) My understanding is that posts in OT don't add to our post count, but reactions received by any of our posts add up on our profile no matter where the post being reacted to is. I'm not sure what this Rank you guys are talking about is. Mine seems to be called Member Title. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

I did wonder I think that if your Watts vs post rating is low, you probably have written considerate, well-reasoned, wise posts. If it's high, you've posted one or two Bad Jokes in appropriate threads. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicVibes Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Watts are basically a way of saying someone has acknowledged your post. So you may be wondering why your watt rating isn't that high - I will give you a hint. Members on here really like the Ramones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
